Many readers have been wondering which are Osho\u2019s most favourite mystics. It happened once the great Hindi poet, Sumitranandan Pant, asked, who are the 12 brightest shining stars in India? Osho gave him the list: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Nagarjuna, Shankara, Gorakh, Kabir, Nanak, Meera, Ramakrishna and Krishnamurti. The poet further asked Osho, \u201cCould you just give me seven names?\u201d Osho said: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Shankara, Gorakh and Kabir. The poet requested again to shorten the list to five?\u201d Osho said: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira and Gorakh. The poet was surprised that Gorakh was not being dropped. Osho said: \u201cBecause Kabir is merged into Gorakh. Gorakh is the root. Gorakh cannot be left out.\u201d Then the poet said: \u201cIf only four are to be kept?\u201d Osho said: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha and Gorakh… The poet requested: \u201cJust one more time… please choose three.\u201d
\nOsho replied: \u201cNow it is impossible. I cannot drop any of these four.\u201d<\/p>\n
These four individualities are like the four directions. These four are like the four dimensions of time and space. These four arms are like the four-armed aspects of God. In fact, there is only one, but that one has four arms. The poet wondered why Gorakh was not dropped. Osho remarked: \u201cGorakh cannot be dropped because Gorakh became a new beginning for this country… Gorakh is the first link of a chain. Through him a new type of religion was born. Without Gorakh, there could be no Kabir, no Nanak, no Dadu, no Vajid, no Farid, no Meera \u2014 without Gorakh none of these are possible. The basic root of all of them is in Gorakh. Since then the temple has been built high. On this temple many golden spires have been raised… but the foundation stone is the foundation stone.\u201d He concluded: Gorakh had a rare individuality, similar to Einstein. Einstein gave such penetrating methods for investigating the truth of the universe, as no one before him had given. Yes, now they can be further developed, now a finer edge can be put on them. In the inner world the same situation exists with Gorakh.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
